Description:1-Chlorohexane, with the CAS number 544-10-5, is an organic compound classified as a haloalkane. It consists of a six-carbon straight-chain alkane (hexane) with one chlorine atom substituted for a hydrogen atom, making it a primary alkyl halide. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 1-Chlorohexane has a relatively low boiling point compared to other chlorinated hydrocarbons, which makes it useful as a solvent and in organic synthesis. Its chemical formula is C6H13Cl, and it can undergo various reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. Due to the presence of chlorine, it is important to handle 1-chlorohexane with care, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested and may cause skin irritation. Additionally, it is considered a volatile organic compound (VOC), which can contribute to air pollution.
